Storage of water was revamped when the underground tank with a capacity of 1,000,000 litres was constructed in 2017. The total water storage capacity in the campus is about 2 million litres comprising of the underground tank, 2 steel tanks, 1 concrete tank and 46 plastic tanks with the capacity of 1,000,000, 400,000, 150,000 and 366,000 litres respectively. A Kenyatta University water bowser with a capacity of 10,000 litres is parked in the university garage in readiness to outsource water in case of an emergency. The students therefore have adequate safe water for drinking, personal hygiene and laundry all the year round.
